Energy is usually the second largest cost in an industrial plant, and the worst measured. We instrument the substation and the critical feeders, bring that measurement into MIOBOX, and turn consumption into an indicator leadership can track and act on.
Measurement and diagnosis of harmonics, power factor, imbalance and disturbances, to identify what is degrading equipment and inflating the bill.
Meter installation at the substation and on critical feeders, streaming continuously into MIOBOX so consumption can be seen by area, line or shift.
Sizing and installation of capacitor banks, from 1 to 1520 kvar, with the protection and switchgear each installation calls for.
Opportunities identified from actual measurement, each with its estimated saving established before the work is carried out.
Assessment and integration of renewable generation into the existing installation, accounting for its effect on operations and on current electrical infrastructure.
Work delivered on the plant floor within this service.
Integrated energy manager for the Cartagena plant, with MCC upgraded to Rockwell, industrial Ethernet network, and expansion of the MIOBOX platform.
Renovation of substation 1 with 440/220 Vac panels, capacitor banks and measurement linked to MIOBOX, under RETIE standard, eliminating energy losses.
Comprehensive renovation of substation 2, with 440/220 Vac panels, capacitor banks, and per-circuit measurement linked to MIOBOX, under RETIE standard.
Regularization of load increase from 2.5 to 3.5 MVA and installation of the medium voltage metering system before the operator, under RETIE standard.
With measurement. Without a real baseline there is no way to know whether an intervention saved anything, or how much. The first step is to instrument the substation and the heaviest feeders, let the measurement run, and only then prioritise where to act.
It is our own IIoT microservices platform. It collects field measurement and presents it as management indicators, so consumption can be tracked by area, line or shift instead of showing up once a month on the utility bill.
It is worth it when the penalty exists and the installation allows for it. Before proposing a bank we measure: if significant harmonics are present, an incorrectly sized bank can resonate and make things worse. That is why sizing comes from measurement, not from an estimate.
